After several requests, he has begun transforming the skins I made for SCLPC++.
These may work in the HTC Touch.
Of course only the three faces of the cube.
It is a tedious task, but the result is very colorful and lets you change the already tedious aspect of the original Touch.

This first skin is not completed in its entirety, continued working on it shortly and the upload is finished.
Now they can download this first test and see the results in its HTC, skin is in an installer (. Cab) easy to install and can return to their ancient icons simply uninstalling the skin.
The purpose of this project is going to transform all skin already made in SCLPC++ for HTC TOUCH.
They can be downloaded from here.

this is awesome thankyou so much!
This is great! i don't really use the cube much anymore but I remember being jealous of all of the skins that were available for slither's cube!
So this will work on the stock Cube that comes preinstalled on the touch? I just updated my rom (with telus) and it added a 4th side. How would that work?
Thanks
Well tried installing it. It skinned 2 of the sides of the cube and left the other 2 sides blank. Probably due to the fact that it has 4 sides and the 4th side is actually just an extention of the 3rd side or something. I dont know. It does look like I nice skin though!
Good job
the application launcher doesnt skin for me, the rest of it works, how can i get the application launcher to skin
Nicely done,
I had made my own in light blues, I like this one also especially the easy install. 1 side that did not load up was the 6 app side (Web, Inbox, Im, etc..)
Here is mine just some screen shots..
Would you like to have a try at this one..?
(When buttons pressed, it blurs smoothly)
I had the same thing, obviously, with the one page. I'm about to look at it, but you should be able to change the images with the same from the animation in the cube editor.
Here I leave with you some images of the skin.
There are already available a second test, continuously without being completed, but this week I will to do so.
It may be that the texts are a bit close to the icons on the main menu 1.
This is solved by making changes to the registry.
Sorry but I am beginning to learn how to work the creation of cabs, as you learn enough effected a cab that includes all changes in registration.

Pardon am Spanish and I find it difficult to understand what they say, I use a translator, sometimes the translation does not interpret his comments well.
I understand that with my skin, does not see the animation moves when the face of the cube?
I need a little help.
Haber if someone can tell me that I must register key play to delete text ADD.
In the first post, you have a final version.
How do i
I have a HTC touch and have installed the cab file however, it does not change anything or it shows on the programs
what to do
I do not understand,
This latest version is verified.
Do the installation from scratch, after installing a ROM and everything was fine.
One of those who have tried, can at least make a comment on whether they work well.
This will help others and are a couple of lines.
Gracias por tu trabajo! / Thanks for your job!!
To everything works well don't forget to softreset.
My 3 faces are skinned but I have some titles in english and some in spanish... What could be the problem?
Hey JAMILU007, Great work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was wondering if your graphics will work on the touch vogue from sprint? I know that all the image files are brns not bmp files. If their aren't brn files, can you upload them or pm me the files so I can covert them. Thanks
SOrry I am New
Sorry I am New and cannot understand how to make this skin active, do i need any other software and install it or can i do it directly...
Instuctions please

In the beginning. Cab was built in Spanish language, later amended the text in the registry to make English version.
Indicate text that appears in Spanish.
It will be repaired.
Thanks for your note.

There are no instructions whatsoever, it's easy to simply install the Cab and restart your device.
As you can see in the comments, works well.
I hope it works.
Has to try again.
SOrry to Trouble
I tried twice, i have uninstalled it and reinstalled it again. Did also a soft reset and it still shows the default cube colors
Mr.J i am a great admirer of your work and brains, i actualy own a new HTC Touch, no cooked rom, directly from company.
Anyways, my bad luck but keep on doing the good work,
May god bless u
Worked a bit better than before, but there are still two issues. The 6 app launcher still shows the original images, and 2 of 3 of the animations are set as if the cube is opening or closing.
Traducción
La esperanza es traducido correctamente!
Trabajó un poco mejor que antes, pero todavía hay dos cuestiones. El 6 app lanzador aún muestra las imágenes originales, y 2 de 3 de las animaciones se puede establecer como si el cubo es la apertura o cierre.
Any Chance you could do the Diamond themes next? AND.. on a side note.. since I have a 4 sided cube and it wont skin properly for me.. could you post the seperate ICONS as well so I can add them manually to my phone using the touch settings program.
Thanks!
PS.. even if you could post the icons first then mod the install cabs later.. I'm just ancy to get some of your diamond themes on my cube! I really like the Whiter II theme

I say neonstorm's post the other day where he replaced the HTC images in the /windows directory to make new skins. His skins are nice and worth checking out. The weren't exactly what I wanted though.
So... I figured I could do the same thing. Below are a few as examples. I have the WM themes that goes with each one except for the grass if anyone is interested. I thought I would offer to make a few custom skins for people if you are interested. The themes support both portrait and landscape modes. They are QVGA only though.
To Install:
Unzip all images (png) to your /windows directory. They will overwrite the existing HTC Touch Dialpad images. (I have included these below in case you want to revert back) Next, reboot your phone, or disable it off (airplane mode) and end the cprog.exe program. Re-enable the phone and you should be good.
To Request:
If you like this style and would enjoy having a custom skin just ask. I will need an image or both the portrait and landscape modes. If you would rather, just put up the .tsk file you are using for your theme and I can extract them. Depending on the response I will try to get them done within a day or so.
There have been a few other designers step up and help with requests. Most of these start around page 17. If interested check them out! There is a little more information in this post.
Well, I am not a programmer so this is about all I can currently do to give back to this community, at least for now. Let me know what you think! I hope you enjoy!

Wonder if it's possible for these types of dialers to make the buttons transparent, that way, you can just change the dialer background and easily change the dialer theme.
Also, this can work with sprint HTC Touch, but you need indialer_accu_p.png and indialer_accu_l.png which you can make from copying the number bar from the main screen dialer.
Thank you for your great contribution, you are such an artist.
I want to ask for help in creating a new skin for dutty dialpad (forgot what it's called), I found it in hermes or kaiser thread.
Here are the pictures of this dialpad:
And this is the cab file:

ok i have a problem. I extracted the files into my windows directory and when i reboot there are no numbers on the dialpad. just the background. Also the jigsaw zip is actually the grass one.

Sorry about that. The first post now has the correct jigsaw.zip. As for you number issue? I have not seen this before. Check in you /windows directory and make sure the NmBtn0up_port.png and NmBtn0dn_port.png and the like are there and correct. This is just an image substitution so not much that can go wrong.
Original Touch Dialer Images...
Sorry this didn't get into the first post. Here are the original HTC Touch Dialpad images that are replaced with this theme.
Would be nice...

That was my original intent in making this skin. Just make the buttons transparent and then change one or two images to change the whole thing. I originally tried this, but the dialpad doesn't use pngs with transparent alpha layers. (or something like that) I will used the odd purple for complete transparent areas, but the blended areas didn't display correctly.
I am not an expert in this area though, so if I did something wrong and someone knows the correct way to get partial transparency, I will be glad to post up a generic version. As it is, I did the next best thing for me. Scripted up the slice and dice routine in Script-fu (gimp). Now all I have to do is change the back ground and push a button. Almost as easy.
Glad you like it!
Purple for jeffreynew23
Here you go jeffreynew23! If she wants a different background just let me know what it is. I had some free time and thought I would at least throw one together for you quick. Hope she likes it!
These are great. I like the font on the number pad much better than the techy looking default one. Thanks for sharing!
Thank You!!!!

Excellent work
PhilD41 great work. One of the reasons I haven't been using the touch dialer is that it is so ugly. I just stuck the the WM6 one. If I could get the dialer to look like the rest of my theme I would be well pleased.
I am using the theme attached. But I have a feeling that the dark color will make the names in the smart dial list impossible to read. Have a look and let me know if its possible.
Thanks in advance.

I will try to find some time tonight to play with it. I am currently using a fairly dark theme which is still readable. It isn't black though. If nothing else, it is just graphics so I could always lighten up the smartdial area instead of darken it. Hopefully I will have a screen shot for you this evening or tomorrow and see what you think.
Water and Fire Dialpad
Hey maccaberry!!
I think it turned out quite nice!! The dialpad is attached below. I have included a screenshot from my phone below. I have also included a tweaked .tsk file. I make a small change so the top and bottom bars are darker black. You can see the difference in the image below (right two images).
Let me know what you think. If I have time, I might make a PocketCM theme to go with it and add it to my pShades collection.
WaterandFire
PhilD,
Man you are good. This looks fantastic. I am not sure what your pShades is, but I will have to check it out now that I have seen your work.
Thanks so much for your efforts. I have tried to put back into the forums by answering lots of n00b questions so that the developers have time to develop instead of answering questions. But what you have done here is a great way to contribute too.
Thanks so much!
maccaberry
You are very welcome! I am glad you like it. Graphics work has always been a hobby of mine and theming seems a good way to put it to use. With my wife and 18 month old son our of town for a few weeks I have had some time to play.
So here I am with my second customization thread.
After making my minimal dialer skin click I also found that the Touch Diamond interface for ThrottleLauncher was a bit too dark and playful for me.
So I decided to make a modification to make it all a bit lighter and more stylish. And something like 12 hours later, here I am!
Changed almost all graphics and a lot of settings to make it and app that suits me.

2. Go to your ppc's explorer and install "Minimal Flow TL.cab".
The cab installs a the skin and a windows mobile theme to your ppc.

2.1 Open up the picture file Minimal Flow.jpg while still in explorer
and press Menu>Set as Today Background. Set to 0% and press ok.
3 Go to Start>Setting>Today and select ClassicBlack and press ok.
3.1 Go to the tab "Items" and deselect everything (ALSO THROTTLETODAY).
Something like Batterystatus can still be run but bus be placed under ThrottleToday
4 On your PPC go to: Start>Programs>ThrottleConfig and select Minimal Flow
from the drop-down box.
4.1 Press "reload plugin" and click exit.
5 ENJOY!
Download Minimal Flow Weather.zip for a lot more configuration and a weather tab!
-First install Mortschript, wich can be found here.
-Then install Minimal Flow V1.0 and after the installation also install the updated version, both to device.
-After installation select the "Minimal Flow Weather", press reload plugin and enjoy! The extended configuration can by pressing "Settings" on the settings tab.
Updated version of the weather version, no more error on load-up! thanks to APBilbo! thank you ^^
I put a lot of effort in making these kind of things, a little donation would make my day!
Donate
Credits go to APBilpo for his great app and my template! And for the Weather tab my credits go to alladdin for writing the mortscript.
ahh. very nice. very black. to my liking.
great job!
wow looks great!!!keep it up
Please read my questions (at least the first one) need you guys to help me with this.
Looks great so far, can't really come up with 4 letter words, but how about a seperate theme with gray pictures?

Preview:
In my opnion that looks a lot better! ^.^
Anyway, I am stuck on a few things and I was hoping one of you could help me out.
HELP ME OVER HERE! xD
1. More of a simple question to brainstorm about.
There is a tab Contacts and a tab Settings, how do I have to make a 4 letter icon out of this? Contacts is now PEPL (people) and settings is now CONF (configuration). I don't like them very much so please help me come up with another one.
2. I don't want the background to be black and there are two options to achieve this.
First of all I could make a tsk that would have the my own background. The problem with this is that if I make one in ThemegenCE, it would go from flat black bars to the glossy grey ones.
Secondly, someone could explain me how to modify the config.xml from throttle launcher so it would load it up with the theme and cover up the original background. The problem with this solution is that I don't know wich line to add. (the parameter=texture gave me problems because it said the skin.xml was invalid?) I think the tsk option is the best so that people could still use their own backgrounds.
Anyway, atm I am working on replacing all icons wich is 40% done or so.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1. CNFG? PEEP? PPLE? hmmm, i see where the problem is...this is kind of hard. CONF sound really good.
Could you use icons instead of text maybe?
pauldgroot said:

I mean change the 4 letter words to little grey silhouettes or simple images.
As for implementing your background in a .tsk, you need a theme editor program... I used one before but can't think of what its called. Or you could just supply us with the jpg and we can set it as our wallpaper. BTW This looks really sweet, about how long untill it's done?
Ok, I think I will release the wall seperate. Unless someone comes with a solution.
I wont change the text to icons because this just looks stylish
The icons for the settings are complete. Some other things to do but first I need to get me some sleep. Tomorrow I think I will finish it.
Good night.
ADDY or ADDR for contacts.
setting is also a nest of eggs (old usage) but EGGS might confuse too much.
I like simple CONF

What does ADDY stand for? never heard of it. Anyway I think CALL and CONF are ok for now. Maybe I'll have a dream with inspiration.
Good night.
just release a background and people can use the allblack tsk floating around and apply the picture you provide as a background through pics and video with 0% transparency, works fine
privacy issue, sorry
PREF would also do it. Though I'm used to CONF by now and realy like it. I hope I'm done with skinning in about an hour and then only alingment etc.
Looks awesome!!! . Really nice work, I look forward testing it . About your questions:
1) For people.... may be something like "PALS"? And for settings...."TUNE"... Anyway I think that CONF is just right .
2) As I see you have done lot of working with the setup I suppose you already know the tutorial. It's true that it's a little bit unupdated.... So, here's how everything is organiced:
- 1rst layer: the background of the today screen back. Will be shown only if the transparency is set to true on the skins.
- 2nd layer: rowbackimage (this one is not documented...). Here you have an example:
Code:
<param name="rowbackimage" value="rowback.png"/>
What it will do is wrap the image to the row size behind it. This image can be a transparent png to show the 1rst layer.
Hope this helps!! If you still have doubts, let me know!!
- 3rd layer: icons .

Ok thanks al lot!
I managed to get a different BG in the programs tab, by editing the skin.xml in skins/programs. But what if I want to add a BG to e.g. the HOME tab? The settings for the home tab are all in the config.xml and when I add
Code:
<param name="rowbackimage" value="rowback.png"/>
to it, it wont load it up. Is this because the home tab is cut up into different rows?
If you could explain me how to add a ackground into the main config.xml file I would appreciate that alot.
UPDATE: NEW CAB Installer !(Many thanks to SaBo)
THE Buttons for active video calls and Landscape are not skinned at the moment but they are working with your default Buttons.
This is just working on any Polaris (touchcruise, Orbit2) and maybe Kaiser (?)and changes just your graphics in windows folder to Diamond Style and changes/adds some registry entries for the progress screen to get a dark text color on the white buttons (screenshot 2). It works with any language.
This is only tested with wm 6.0, i can cause small graphic Problems with wm 6.1 (see last Post).
Thanks for the People who helped me, and for one background i found here somewhere and SaBO for the new cab installer.

thank you great work
Tried on TyTN II with Hyperdragon IIIs full rom, main dialer screen works but the end call screen doesn't seem to work, or is it the new skin doesn't include the end call screen.
Smartdial is working, but Video call is working, error message saying that 3G network is not available. Not sure at this moment if it was due to Rom 3G dialer or not.
Thanks for the great work.
I have a touch cruise! The graphics are stored in the windows folder?

Alright, confirmed 3G video working.
Hi,for easy install,here is the cab .
- thanks for the cab
- my Idea was, why install a new "not working" Dialer if whe can change just the graphics of the existing one ? so on Polaris everything must work.
- im still working with original Diamond graphics now and you will get a much more beautifull Dialer (see Post 2),
- the video, erase.... buttons are to bright at the moment, this will be solved with next version.
- the End-screen will come also, its not included at the moment, first i must search for all buttons in my windows directory
- maybe i do landscape too, but never seen anyone phone in landscape
if anyone finds a bug (forgotten graphic) post here.

That's great! Looking forward to the next version. Thanks.
Update to a better Version, see first Post
Here you find a Quick GPS-Skin: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=405548
wow, great minds think alike. I was just thinking about which icon to use for my 3g idaler skin and came across one I like on Google search. Then I run across this and you ended up using the same exact one! Guess i will use something else.
btw, can you post a screen shot of the progress page during call and after hang up. i need to see what are the functions of the buttons during and after call.
hy super.
I used with a little of reworking original Diamond buttons found in the oem pack of diamond. The video/Call list and erase buttons are made by me with using diamond background buttons.
at the moment this is just the dialpad, but i am working on a solution for dialing in progress. Here is a first screenshot:
Problem that will come:
1. this dialer uses white text on blank black buttons, so there will be a problem when using white Buttons ? maybe i have to do some changes in the registy to solve that problem.
2. I Can´t locate exactly the other blank buttons without text. DOES ANYONE KNOW WHICH ARE THE EXACT NAMES OF THIS BLANK BUTTONS; FOUND 3 OR 4 BUTTONS THAT COULD BE USED BY THE DIALER IN MY WINDOWS DIRECTORY ?
2. The VideoCall Button was easy, its skinnable on its own and not using the other blank background buttons with text, so i could use a picture for it.
It works on my HTC Touch Cruise. Thank you very much.
thank you for feedback.
still working on Dialing screen, but now i got this graphics bug on the first row
i found out that the blank buttons the dialer uses are called CmdBtn..., EdBtn... and TkBtn... but my same button has the bug only in first row ?
Problem two is the white text (what a surprise he he)
will work on this tomorrow.
i copied these files to my windows folder but there was nothing to replace. I did a soft reset, and i still had the same htc dialer. doesnt work on the Kaiser i guess.
For different color of Progress page text, try:
HKLM\Security\Phone\Skin\PROGRESS\portrait(landscape)\VerbButton\textFlags
it is probably at ffffff (white), try changing it to 0 for black. remember to wait a few minutes before soft resetting.
I use to also think that making skin for Landscape was a waste of time. But if you don't do it, there will be a line of people asking for it, so you might as well do it.

UPDATE: The NEW VERSION, using original Diamond Graphics (and some from me )
it was a little bit more work then first Version.
If you already have my first version, just replace the files with this.
THIS IS JUST tested on POLARIS !!! and its only the Dialpad, will do more next days.
This is working because i changed only graphics.
Its just tested on Polaris Dialer (touchcruise/Orbit 2). No Landscape support.
This is not working if you have another Phone or Dialer. maybe on Kaiser if it has the same htc dialer ?
-make a copy of original graphics (see in my folder which graphics are replaced) or make a backup. When you do a hardreset your original graphics are back of course.
What to do: download, unzip and put the Folder on your touchcruise, use TotalCommander and put all graphics from my folder directly in your windows directory. Make a softreset. Ready.

Tested on my TyTN II running on Hyperdragon IIIs full rom. I like the previous version of video call button better. Anyway, appreciate the efforts. BTW, I think the last screen buttons had not been done.
Thanks.
- mikeeey: thank you for feedback, so the original kaiser rom seems to have another dialer/button names.
if someone has the time he can find out how the buttons are named on kaiser and rename my graphics ?
- superflysocal: i dont have the textflag or any text or textcolor-key in this regitrypaths or other paths ?
-zand: you dont like all buttons or just the video eye-button? the first version was in most parts original touchcruise with changed white/black buttons, this version has original diamond buttons, just made new green display, function buttons.
Hey Guys
Well ive been lurking around these boards for over a year now. I thought i should gather up all the things ive either skinned myself or found.
Ive never been *truly* happy with my device, or Windows Mobile, and so over time ive put together some M2D themes and Comm Managers and now im trying my hand at making a Dialer and its turning out pretty good (i think).
My aim is/was to unify my device and make the interface look better.

Video Dialers
Well i found this video dialer and decided to skin it. They are up to BETA 4 which means the primary and secondary screens are both skinned but there are still little bits a bobs that need to be done, but its 95% complete. If you have another dialer installed, uninstall that one first then install this one.

KEYBOARD SKINS
Beta 1
This is only a skin for the Keyboard, not the full qwerty or any of the others. The others deal with the letters differently, so its going to be harder to skin, same with the symbol page. So they have NOT been skinned. This skin is for WWE only.
Ok this one requires a bit more effort to install. First you need to make SURE you have this keyboard below ALREADY installed:
If you do, you can now download the files, unzip them, and copy them all to the Windows folder, overwriting the original files. You will need to use Resco File Explorer, Total Commander or a Windows PC to copy them. File Explorer does not work.
Then you soft reset your phone and you should have the new skin installed.

Splash Screens
Here is one i found, i didnt do anything to it, im just uploading it again because its so great and fits in with our Touch Cruises so well. When i get a chance i want to work out how to turn the white bits red and lime and blue etc to match the M2D themes above. I tried "replace Colour" with photoshop but it just gave me a horrible pixelated mess.
Polaris Flower Startup Screen
Now the following to screens replace the second or third screens you see when you boot your device. I cant remember which one exactly. These match the "Red" and "Lime" themes up above. These also wernt done by me but im uploading them again because i think they fit in perfectly.
Simply rename them welcomehead.96 then disable touchflo, copy them to the Windows folder, then re-enable Touch flo! You may need to use TotalCommander to copy it over if File Explorer wont let you.

S2U2 GFX
Well here is another Beta, this time for S2u2 graphics. I might redo the clock because that look is a bit dated. Or maybe i might redo the clock in the M2D theme to match this one..hmm..decisions...
Anyway here are the files, just copy the gfx folder into your S2U2 folder, overwriting the old gfx folder. It has been tried and tested on S2U2 Version 2.01
Dont know if ive skinned all the files but most of them are done.
S2U2 2.01 gfx
great effort mate - thanks for sharing
GREAT!
Thank you!
*wipes brow* just finished redoing all the buttons for the Lime Dialer. Its quite striking to say the least. Its still a beta though, with the secondary screen still having the normal buttons but 80% of it is done.
Thank you for your Comm Manager, anybody there can guide me to get 3G to GSM button instead of data connection button. My problem is, i am using 3D setting SIM card when i set to 2G postpaid, 3G celcom still appear at today screen. TQ
Well ive added a Red Comm Manager. Its a beta because when you select something the highlighter doesnt go away. Everything works but if you select more than one thing it just looks a little odd...i might have to switch to a different comm manager to fix the issue..hmmm
To change the options in the Comm Manager use "Advanced Config". Open it > Menu > More Settings > Comm Manager >
EDIT: Well ive been fiddling with the registry settings today and i have found where to change the text on the secondary screen in the dialers, but ive tried two colours and they both turned out blue (wtf?). Ill have to read up on my hexadecimals
EDIT: I did it! I managed to get the text to black. Its a slightly brighter red than the dialer because i dont know how broad the colour range is. Ill upload soon.
EDIT: Well im now uploading Beta 4 of the Dialer. Ive skinned the buttons on the secondary screen when you press down on them. They are now white instead of black to match the other buttons. Ive also moved the red bar down a few pixels so the Mobile Carrier fits on the grey space and doesnt hang over.
EDIT: Im going to try skinning a SIP now. In the same Red and Lime (and black). I dont know how its going to turn out. It might be too difficult to see in all but the perfect conditions. But we will see how it goes....Ill post up some screenshots of the Alphas if i have any luck doing it.
EDIT: Ive updated the Lime Dialer to the new secondary screen. So now they are both 95% skinned. It seems you cant finely tune the colours for the text. Perhaps they only have a 256 colour palette? Im going to leave them how they are for now, while i try fixing the Comm Manager issue. The SIP might take a bit longer than expected. I have crappy wireless internet at the moment and downloading anything is a major pain.
EDIT: *Sigh* why must everythg be so difficult. I tried skinning the default HTC keyboard and all was going well until i loaded it on my Polaris. It doesnt change any graphics, even though i loaded a cab on with the new ones. It leads me to suspect that the CAB is not overwriting the existing files, but simply creating a copy...thus not getting used. I need to work out how to delete the original keyboard files so the only ones in use are the ones i install with the cab. ARGH!
Well after 2 hours of tinkering ive finally worked out how to make skins for the HTC Keyboard.
Im going to do the keypad layout first as its the easiest to do lol
Ok im uploading the 12 button keyboard skin.
Please take note of the following:
This is for the 12 button keyboard ONLY, all other symbol screens and other keyboards have not been skinned yet.
To install it you will need to use Resco Explorer or Total Commander.
Please make sure you already have the keyboard installed, these are the skin files only, not the keyboard itself.
This skin is for English countries only
To uninstall you will need to copy the original files back over, if anyone needs them i will upload them, just send me a message.
EDIT: Im going to try skinning S2U2 now...what else do people want skinned???

Ok everyone, here's the newest NFL skinning project I've been working on for my pro2. I liked the way the Eagles one I made for myself came out so much I went ahead and made one for every NFL team so that you guys could enjoy as well. I'd like to present you with my NFL DINIK Keyboard skins. I used DINIK's-Anastasia-Keyboard v2.0 as a base when making them. He also has a newer v3.0 keyboard skin i could use to make a newer set. Let me know what you guys think. Enjoy..
Huge THANKS goes to DINIK for creating all of his amazing skins.. These are HIS Rules and they must be followed here as well! Here they are:

You're always rocking it aren't ya?
I'm having a hell of a time getting a screen shot for you. I've tried resco screen capture and shake and save and even tho i have the keyboard up, it only captures the page behind the keyboard. I also tried with my camera, but i couldn't get a clear pic. any ideas?
The landscape lines up pretty well but it seems like the bottom of the helmet (AZ Cardinals at my nephew's insistence) is cut off at the space bar, but otherwise looks great.
for the portrait it looks like there is a double space bar and a double shift key and the bottom arrow keys are cut off by the bottom menu bar.
If you have any better ideas for a screen shot, let me know and i'll try it.

Try an app called capsure(just tried it and keyboard came up in pic). Get it HERE.
I did have to resize diniks keyboard skin to fit my tp2. Give me a min and I'll edit and attach a few files for you to try n see if it fixes the problem
EDIT: Here are the resized portrait images. Leave the Cardinals(tp2)cab installed and then copy and paste these into your windows folder overwriting the tp2 files then soft-reset. let me know how it works out.
The files you posted brought me back to normal and thanks for the CapSure link, worked like a charm!

Your welcome!! When you say they brought you back to normal you don't mean they are as in the attached pics right? are those from the cab only? Cause those don't look good at all. If they do are aligned correctly with the files I attached, I'll remake them for all teams so that hd2 users can enjoy as well.
Here's the skin I pm'd you about. let me know what you think..
Differnt ROM
if im not running Diniks ROM, can i still use these tweeks? thanks

Yea they should work just fine.(i'm running stock sprint 6.5) They're uninstallable so go ahead and try it out. Let me know then if everything is aligned correctly.
Thanks for these. They look great!
Hey, how about doing a christmas keyboard that you can add to the CHT Christmas Theme string? I don't know if those guys are aware that your skins can be adjusted to work with HD2. An xmas dialpad would be cool too........aren't I just full of good ideas for things for you to do. If you want to send me a "skinning keyboards/dialers" for dummies I can work on doing it myself too.

Oh wow..I'm sorry ezzie!! For the amount of time I spend on these forums, I can't believe I totally missed this post. That would of been a great idea. I'm alil disappointed I didn't see it in time. I'll def keep the idea in the back of my mind for next christmas
I'd be happy to help you make a few of your own skins! Pm me and let me know how i can help.
Here's a preview of a wp7 skin I'm working on for swype keyboard. I have all portrait images finished and will share it once I have landscape completed. What do you guys think of it?
sweet! are the swype ones hard to do? There are very few of them out there and for some reason none of them are working with my NRGZ ROM.
btw my nephew is really jealous of my AZ Cardinal's phone pad, cursor and keyboard which of course I switched to just for that very reason!
Once again I am in awe of your graphic abilities!

Thanks for the kind words ezzie. Yea i've also noticed there aren't too too many swype skins availabe. Na they actually aren't that bad, they're not any harder than making skins for htc keyboard. If anything it's a little easier because there are no images involved within the .dll file like there is for htc kb. When you say they're not working, do you men the skins or swype itself. If its the skins I'll help see if we can't figure it out
uh huh cause of your nephew lol.. i think it's because your turning into a sports fan before our very eyes!
HA!
It's just the skins that aren't working, swype is fine. (except for when i accidentally delete the files trying to get the skins to work!) I'm not sure when they stopped working either because they used to work just fine with his ROMs and for awhile I wasn't using swype a whole lot. I'll attach the files in a couple of days when I get home from vacation. I'd do it now but my laptop was commandeered the minute I got to my brother's and I'll be lucky to get it back before I leave!
Here are my wp7 skins for swype keyboard I'd like to share with everyone. I've never made a skin for swype and you can see how many different things I've skined. With all the new wp7 phones coming out, I thought a wp7 themed keyboard skin would be a great starting place. I posted a few preview shots a few days ago and just finished them yesterday. I played with them all day and have found no problems(tp2). Please post if you have any problems! Let me know what you think of them. Enjoy..
They work in both portrait and landscape and are available with either a white or black background.
Instructions..
-Make sure you have swype previously installed.
-Install cab to the same directory you installed swype. example if swype is installed to storage card, install the skin to storage card.
-or copy contents of zip to swype directory (program files/swype)
-Soft-reset and your done
